Thanks, I somehow did not find out. However, the option does not help, X
still fails when CorePointer is not set anywhere. And what I used now,
is setting one /dev/input/mice profile as CorePointer and setting

X11_USBMICE_HACK=true

in the hotplug configuration. So X does not fail and USB mice work when
I attach them after X start.

But is still not works automaticaly as described in XF86Config-4
manpage. Another glitch: the manpage does not list mouse(4x) in the
list or references but it would make sence.

MfG,
Eduard.
